‘Extremely disturbing and unethical’: new rules allow VA doctors to refuse to treat Democrats, unmarried veterans | Trump administration | The Guardian share.google/Noo1N4QHYZLw...

Omg the aerial photos are even better 😭

Local media reporting that the victims appear to be two Democratic state lawmakers and a spouse. No word on injuries. This is really, really dark news to wake up to.

To be clear, to the people who used to profess they were the small government conservatives- Medical boards determined ethics and best practices. Sports? Tournaments and leagues determined eligibility of Trans athletes. School boards determined curriculum, your community chose books.

How should we as a country address declining faculties in politicians? I know there's a push for age and term limits, but i have an idea- A credentialing exam. We do this for teachers (praxis) and even the postal workers take a civil servants exam. You want to run for legislatures?

First, I think Biden should have stepped away and let Harris drive in 23. I thought this at the time. I think it would have likely helped. But, as we may recall, things were popping at that time and stability of leadership likely would have argued for him staying the course.

I suspect there's a serious issue with the neurodivergent:neuro typical conversation. Normal, is what is not disruptive to the systems built. Even if, the stats showed this was 50:50 distributed? What works for those who wanted to stagnate would be those prone to accept the systems they are

Marjorie, I know the truth confuses you and facts ain’t your strong suit—so let me break it down real slow: George Floyd didn’t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. That’s called murder.

He feels entitled. He feels entitled to that fancy, gaudy gift from Qatar. Like he felt entitled to cameos, in home alone. He felt entitled to his reality show, and ratings. 1/7

It's pretty wild he has such a poor grasp on history. youtu.be/Sm9am4T6NmU?...

Tell me, how this person got a clearance? And don't BS me that there's no guilt by association when immediate family is involved in a foriegn adversarial battle scenario. And if they had held him for leverage??? This administration is.... a security risk. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Trump has deported a four-year-old US citizen with a rare form of metastatic cancer without medication or consultation with their doctor.

Vance seems to destroy everything he touches.

DOGE IS HACKING THE US GOVERNMENT—building a ‘master database’ of our sensitive info from the IRS, Social Security, HHS & voter rolls. No oversight. No safeguards. Just a surveillance machine waiting to be weaponized. They claim it’s about “efficiency” and tracking immigrants. It’s about control.

So, these prep school rich boys? They never stood for the Pledge of Allegiance? Like is public school serfs. Or, they're so entitled the phrase "liberty and justice for all" was just a trope for them? Serving themselves only. Oath breakers. Derelict. Greedy. Cruel. Putting the con in conservative...

Imagine that. Is there any doubt in anyone’s mind they were tipped off? They are laughing at us all. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Let’s be clear. He sold $2.4 billion of his stock the day before he announced tariffs. He’s now crashing the stock market deliberately. He will then buy stock when it’s fallen through the floor. All this is is him stiffing everyone to get richer. That’s it.

The other big volatility spikes? The Bush recession, the pandemic in 2020(Trump), and Trump tariffs.

60 Minutes found no criminal record for 75% of the Venezuelan migrants the U.S. sent to a mega-prison in El Salvador. https://cbsn.ws/4lC4Vp5

Undue Medical Debt is retiring unpaid medical bills for 20 million people. The debt trading company that owned them is leaving the market.

Did AI determine the tariff formula?

Here's your conspiracy theory... (Since they're so freaking popular.) The weather events will continue to get magnified. Because of climate change. And the corporations who are responsible? Will continue to push that "weather modification narrative " to avoid culpability and consequences.

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

What a disgrace... Do not miss Vance's reply. Stop pretending like he's the sane one. He deserves to wear this incompetence in perpetuity. Unqualified. Unethical. Incompetent. Every single individual involved.

I don't know if it's that the good die young, so much as it often feels the bad live on perpetually.

A billionare, and that mother in law lives with him. And she's got massive wealth of her own Yeah, she wouldn't call, because she doesn't need it. You know what would save SSI? Rich people not receiving unnecessary funds from the public trust.

Rubio’s position seems to be: - We get to say who is a terrorist. Our decision is final. It can’t be challenged. Just trust us. - Once we decide you are a terrorist, we can immediately deport you. No judges. - After we deport you, we can make you rot in a foreign prison. No criminal charges needed.

NEW: Federal immigration authorities have a history of wrongfully detaining U.S. citizens. Advocates warn that the Trump administration’s immigration policies mean that more citizens will get caught up in raids and sweeps. By @nicolefoy.bsky.social

“‘I was put in a cell, and I had to sleep on a mat with no blanket, no pillow, with an aluminum foil wrapped over my body like a dead body for two and a half days.’”

Yes it's a long form video. Yes it's worth the time. #taxwealthnotwork Is a great messaging strategy. We need to work towards this here in the US. And we need to be very aware of the messaging reasons from the other side.
